22 years needed to save for property in Stockholm

A new report from Mäklarhuset shows that the difference in how many years it takes to save up for a deposit for a house depends on the city and profession, reports SvD. The report shows that it takes the longest time in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Uppsala. For an auxiliary nurse in Stockholm it takes 22 years to save up the deposit.

Erik Wikander, CEO of Mäklarhuset, says that it is time for politicians to add stimulus to the threats. “When there is no functioning housing market and a balance between owned and rented property, it creates a pressurised situation for young people. The regulations that have been brought in over the past five years have focused on limiting debt. However there needs also to be stimulus so that the entire housing market is used,” says Erik Wikander.
